Tide and K-Mart are plastered all over cars. Should I put Tide in my motor or buy my tools and parts from K-Mart? The reason Mobil decals are all over cars is because Mobil is a huge oil company and can afford to pump a ton of money into advertizing. It is not a statement on quality! And If you believe that just because someone wears a Mobil logo on their cap they use Mobil in their car, I have a bridge to sell you. Furthermore, those who do use Mobil do so because they are paid sponsorship money, not because they necesarily believe the product is the only and best thing out there. I guarantee you that if Castrol or Amsoil or any other oil came along and offered a racing team double the bucks of Mobil to sport their logos, there would be many converts. >If you watch racing on TV, you will see many Mobil 1 decals on race cars and >driver attire.
